> I would argue about the actual frequency of their use

Assuming you mean load bearing & blast radius, I'd see those used and use them myself very frequently pre LLM, mostly in online discussions though so its telling where they got their training data. Load bearing itself is/was a pretty normal phrase in the ops world in daily discussion.

Smoke test though, I can't say I've ever see irl usage.

Heard smoke test IRL & was confused to see it used indeed in place of “sanity check”. Weird.

		I have heard people use smoke test but not nearly at the same rate an LLM uses. If a repo is bare of CLAUDE.md but mentions a smoke test in a commit in the last year I assume it to be LLM written.
